Who Should I Start? Khalil Shakir or Matthew Golden

Saturday, October 11, 2:10 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir could see an uptick in targets Monday night with tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable after limited practice participation this week. Shakir tied his season-high with nine targets in Week 5 and now sits tied for the team lead with 29 on the year, turning them into 235 receiving yards through five games. With the Bills set to face the NFL's top-ranked pass defense in Atlanta, Shakir will need to create separation against cornerbacks Mike Hughes and Dee Alford to stay productive. If Kincaid is ruled out, Shakir should serve as a reliable safety valve for Josh Allen and could offer sneaky PPR value as a volume-based WR3 or flex play in Week 6.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden led the team with 86 receiving yards in Week 6 against the Bengals and added 16 yards on a pair of rushes as well. The Packers seem to be focused on getting the first-round pick more involved in the offense, and the playmaker is starting to look more comfortable in the NFL in his last few games. Romeo Doubs continues to be a more reliable security blanket for Jordan Love, but Golden brings more deep play potential. How exactly Christian Watson (knee) will fit into the mix once he's ready to come off the PUP list is uncertain. Golden brings enough upside, though, to be a great waiver wire pickup if you need a WR3 or flex play this week against the Cardinals. He hasn't had his elusive "breakout" game yet, but it still seems like it could be just around the corner.
